Abstract:

The addition of stilbestrol to a high-energy fattening ration has consistently
demonstrated its ability to increase rate of gain with older or
heavier feeder cattle. At the time this test was initiated, there was considerable
confusion as to the effect of stilbestrol upon carcass quality.
This cooperative test with large numbers of cattle was conducted to
obtain further information on rate and efficiency of gain and the effect
upon carcass quality.
